List Jobs
To show the status of jobs recently submitted, use wx list.
The default is to show up to 20 jobs submitted by the user running wx list. With some options, described below, you may also view jobs belonging to other users.
The Accelerator Plus Administrator may have configured methods to mitigate this load, including caching.
wx list
wx: Usage Message
WX LIST:
List jobs currently in the system.
The list is ordered by increasing job id,
normally the same as the submission order.
The behavior can be controlled by $VOVDIR/local/vnclist.config.tcl
and by the variables
NC_LIST_FORMAT
NC_LIST_CACHE_DIR
NC_LIST_CACHE_TIMEOUT
NOTE ON CACHES and MORE EFFICIENT METHODS:
This command may use local, client-side caches.
Caches are activated by setting NCLIST(cache,enable) to 1
in the file $VOVDIR/local/vnclist.config.tcl
These caches can significantly reduce
the load on the scheduler in the case of repeated calls.
The default timeout for these caches is 30s.
There are better ways to get information about jobs, especially in
scripts. Please consider the following efficient methods:
% wx getfield $JOBID ...
-- To get specific info about a job
% wx cmd vovset count SETNAME ...
-- To count jobs in sets by status
% wx wait ...
-- To block waiting for jobs to complete
USAGE:
% wx list [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS:
-O <format> -- Specify a different Output format.
Refer to the manual for a description
of formats. For experts.
This can also be specified via the NC_LIST_FORMAT
environment variable.
-O+ <format> -- Add one or more fields to the default output
format.
-H -- When used with -O, show header line.
-l -- Long format: show group, user, host,
and full command.
-L -- Very long format: show start and end dates,
duration.
-c -- Count jobs: this option affects the output
format.
It adds a column with the the position of each
job in the list of jobs to be shown.
-S <rule>
-select <rule>
-selrule <rule> -- 3 ways to specify the selection rule. For
experts. The clause 'isjob' is added to the
selection rule.
-S+ <rule> -- Alternate (OR) selrule; jobs that match any
selrule will be shown. The clause 'isjob' is
added to the selection rule.
-subjobs -- Show also sub-jobs too
(e.g. jobresumer, partialtool)
-systemjobs -- Show also system-jobs
-alljobs -- Show all types of jobs,
including sub-jobs and system-jobs.
-a -- Show jobs for all users.
-r -- Show only running jobs.
-f -- Show only failed jobs.
-s -- Show only suspended jobs.
-q -- Show only queued jobs.
-u <user> -- Show jobs belonging to given user. Ignored if
used with -selrule or -set option.
-first <index> -- Show jobs starting at index. By default,
first index is 1.
-last <index> -- Show jobs ending at index. By default, last
index is -1, which is the last job.
<num> -- Show first <num> jobs if <num> is positive.
Show last <num> jobs if <num> is negative number
-J <jobName> -- Show only jobs with given job name.
WARNING: this option can place a high load on
the WorkloadXelerator server in large workload
environments due to the need to compare strings
for each job, it is recommended to avoid calling
this unless truly required.
-set <setName> -- Show only jobs in the given set.
This option can be repeated to show the content
of multiple sets. If a job belongs to multiple
sets, it may be reported more than once.
-dir <directory> -- Show only jobs in the given directory.
-cache -- Use result cache. It is recommended to utilize
the result cache to reduce the load on the
WorkloadXelerator server
in cases where list queries are scripted.
By default, the cache expires after 30s.
-v -- Increase verbosity.
-h -- Print brief usage.
